The far right death threats to an autistic boy

Pure appeasement seems to be the strategy in the UK, and if won't end well for them.

I can see how it could be interpreted as appeasement, but in reality it’s just good community policing.

I dunno where “the far right” comes into this as it seems to have been the death threats were sent by just one person - another student at the school, which there isn’t any details about, and there aren’t likely to be any details released because the student is a child.

What Western social contract? Our laws place limitations on freedom of expression and freedom of speech and all that sort of thing and always have done, Ireland had the blasphemy laws up until only very recently. We would have a secular society and Christianity still holds its strict views, it’s just that those views are balanced with civil liberties, and that’s the reason conflicts like this have always arisen in Western societies. Islam isn’t being treated any differently, civil law still takes precedence, it’s just that circumstances like this where it appears to be nothing more than a schoolkids prank is taken to extremes by people with vested interests in trying to whip up all sorts of paranoid nonsense.

Back when I was in school the kind of school pranks we did in an all-boys school were to give our friend’s address when ordering free samples of feminine hygiene products; nowadays it’s ordering the Koran on Amazon. I guess things have changed 😂

A word search of this page proves that utterly false.

I quoted you because you made the OP.

You said most of the relevant information was on Twitter, the relevant bit however was already given by police (as I said in the post you are so ironically nitpicking). The information you are quoted as saying was "relevant" included as the first cited tweet a lad on the internet claiming "he accidentally caused "slight damage" to *his own copy* of a Quran" which is directly contradicted by the quote I cited from the first article, which clearly indicated the boy brought in the book and possibly damaged it himself all as a prank gone wrong ("a dare"), not an accident whatsoever.

Need not get so upset about my analysis that you attack the poster.

Not just the boy, but what the poor mother was subjected to is unacceptable.

The biggest problem is, that only the likes of Nigel Farage on GBnews have covered it, while it was ignored by the BBC. So, it is very difficult to get many people to even pay attention.

After all, posting a link to a video featuring Nigel Farage is never going to go down well in Ireland, or much of the UK. He will be attacked and called names, while the topic he is trying to cover ignored.

The right-leaning broadsheets covered it, but not the tabloids or anything left-leaning. In Ireland we don't even have the equivalent of those broadsheets, so such a story here would get buried.

Except it wasn't, as I demonstrated in the post. The info was not only not relevant, it was misleading and contradictory.

I haven't "accused" you of anything. Please stop trying to make this into a personal argument when it is anything but.

Of all the things to happen, this didn't happen the most.

"You'll find most of the relevant information in the above" your post said, citing tweets with information that was in direct conflict with the report from officials in the Original Post (also provided by you). Pointing out this conflict in the information provided by the original posts is hardly a personal offense, is it?

I would assume news of the whole incident is the whole point of the thread, and discussing it is "nit picking?" Baffling.

I never once claimed they were your words.

If it makes you feel better, Greta Thunberg who is white and European and autistic has received all kinds of death and rape threats from non Muslim far right types, so it's not just the scary Muslims that are bad, there are loonies in all walks of life.

only that commenter on Twitter. I’ve no idea who he is, don’t care who he is either if I’m being honest.

Never heard of him either, so I looked him up.

In August 2021, Daubney was appointed deputy leader of Laurence Fox's Reclaim Party.[19] He was the party's candidate in the 2021 North Shropshire by-election,[20] he finished seventh with 375 votes (0.98 per cent), losing his deposit and narrowly just beating "The Monster Raving Loony Party

😂

Where do people find these absolute losers?

As I said, loonies in all walks of life. I've worked with and known many British Muslims who were the nicest people you could meet. Maybe when it comes to religion the Muslims have the worst examples of extremism, but the "Christian" far right in the USA aren't far behind them at this stage.

He is your "source".

He is an absolute loser.

Both facts.

RE the discussion, which is just another Muslim bashing thread, isn't it?

If you are that scared of them, don't read obscure articles buried in obscure websites and stop following absolute spanners on twitter.

😂

Brilliant.

I think he's just posting it to point out how awful Muslims are. Just the usual boards.ie stuff.
